BUCKIE, BANFFSHIRE.—The lugger Mary, of Buckle, was taken off the beach, at about midnight on the 30th April, in order to proceed to Gluny Harbour to be fitted out for the west coast herring fishery. A whole gale suddenly sprung up from N.N.W., accompanied by a heavy sea, and the boat failed to enter the harbour and was carried past it. She immediately dropped her anchor, but dragged for a considerable distance and the boat gradually drifted near the rocks at Janstown, near Buckie. The crew of the Life-boat James Sharps were summoned, and when it was seen that the lugger would certainly be driven ashore unless she had assistance the boat was launched, taking out an anchor, two chains and a spring rope belonging to the owners of the fishing boat. The boat by means of this tackle was securely moored, and rode out the gale, which shortly afterwards moderated, her crew of nine men getting into the Life-boat and reaching the land at 9 A.M..
